When I decided to expand the types of music I record, I did not think about performing these songs live. Then, I started playing with this song in an acoustic way and caught this recording. This may be the second time I played through all the way for this recording. The song just fell into place. Additionally, the idea of taking a studio version of a song and giving it an entirely different life with an acoustic version came to mind.
When I recorded this, I thought I’d capture live acoustic takes. That idea was quickly tossed away as I started to record more songs like this and add a second acoustic, vocal harmonies, etc.
Listen to this “Like You (acoustic version)” on Spotify.
